I'd rather be beading.

I've been beading now for several years and am finally feeling like I'm making some things I would love to sell. My confidence is growing and I am beginning to really think about selling my work.  Lately I've been working on learning some wire wrapping techniques since I am still a novice.  I find myself completely consumed by the task and the time fly's by at at alarming rate. The laundry isn't getting done, the dishes are stacking up and my house...well it needs a good cleaning. I know I should get to it, but really... I'd rather be beading. Here are some things I've been working on.
